The idea that we need halflings in a non-Middle Earth fantasy setting is equivalent to saying that we need wookies in a non-Star Wars space setting.EDIT:Or come to think of it, Star Wars is a fantasy setting in addition to being a space opera. So let me restate it this way, Saying that we need halflings in the D&D core rules because they're from an extremely popular fantasy setting, is no different from saying that we need wookies in the D&D core rules because they too are from an extremely popular fantasy setting.Whereas in actual fact it would be lame and derivative to include those things because they're not only from those settings but also specific to them.</blockquote>
